Found outside the solar system the best evidence of water (Figure).
World Scientific reports [tech.] News: astronomers said they found outside the solar system the best evidence of water, they are 60 light years from Earth in a giant planet's atmosphere. .<P> Researchers in "Nature" magazine, wrote, 这颗 planet called HD 189733b life can not exist in itself, but his evidence of water the atmosphere can inspire astronomers on other planets in the solar system to find signs of life .. .In the following press release, the person in charge of the study, the Institute of Astrophysics in Paris, France, the European Space Agency, researchers Jiao Wa Cincinnati Trinity as saying: "sure is clear evidence that trillions of miles away in the .The signs of water on the planet, we are very excited. "</ P> <P> light years is the unit of length in the light travels in a year walking distance. .Light walking 186,000 miles per second (about 30 million kilometers per second), while a light equivalent to 6 trillion miles. .Gio Warner said: "Although HD 189733b planet uninhabitable, in fact, it's environment is very bad. But our findings suggest that, where the water may be more than we previously thought in general. In the future, our method can be used to study .More about 'beneficial life' environment. "</ P> <P> HD 189733b planet around a star running Vulpecula. .The researchers said that in response to water the wavelength band, the planet appears larger, which means it's the atmosphere in the water. .The researchers said: "We found that the absorption of water vapor is the most likely result in the effective radius of the planet are the reasons for the wavelength change." HD 189733b the planet is called "hot Jupiters", like the solar system, Jupiter, but the heat than Jupiter .much more. .</ P> <P> Harvard University astronomer 希瑟努特森 in the same issue of "Nature" magazine commented on the findings, she said, a finding that there was no water with the previous findings are contradictory. .Heather said that previous studies have observed the smooth distribution of the planet HD 189733b from out of the light, but a recent study using different methods to analyze the atmosphere through the outer edge of the planet emitted light, which means that the previous measurement .may mask the signal of water. .Heather said in a telephone interview: "For a long time, we are looking for the existence of life on other planets, and evidence of water in the atmosphere." </ P> </ p>.
